He said the Germans tried very hard to get the phrase “flying coffins” into usage.That nickname was already taken by the B-24.

Somebody was flying either a B-24 or a B-25 over my house last week. I could hear radial engines and saw twin vertical stabilizers when I went out to look. Didn’t see the number of engines though.
